Take Minnesota (#579)
The 'double gamer' video below offers my 'free play' opinions for the two early games on Saturday. What follows here is a brief synopsis of my case for Chris Finch's squad plus the points in Round 1, Game 1 action. I'm not asking for the T-wolves to win this series; I'm just asking Minnesota to hang within six points of Denver in their playoff opener. These two teams have played 28 times over the last four seasons, including a pair of extended playoff series. There's not much that Minnesota is going to do that Denver is not prepared for and vice versa. There's also not much separation between the talent levels of these two squads now that Anthony Edwards is back at or near 100% for the road underdog. The Timberwolves have been the better defensive team by a fairly wide margin, and David Adelman's squad has been nothing short of awful laying points, to the tune of 2-8 ATS in their last ten tries at -3 or higher. Live dog here! Take the Timberwolves.

This is a free play on CHA.
I had the Heat +5.5 in the 1st Play-in game, and I said that Miami had a significant advantage when it came to experience and coaching. That won't be the case here against Orlando. Only one of these teams looks like they want to play in the post-season, and Orlando isn't that team. The Magic look soft, and their coach will surely be fired as soon as the season is over. That might happen sooner than later.

Take Charlotte – Orlando UNDER (#573-574)
The ‘Daily Double’ video below features my take on BOTH NBA Play-In Games for Friday Night. Here’s a brief synopsis of the Hornets – Magic total recommendation. I’m in play for my clients with the side here, but I have a ‘bettable opinion’ on the total as well. There’s all kinds of pressure and playoff intensity expected tonight in Orlando – the winner moves on to the playoffs; the loser goes home for the summer. That’s not great news for Over bettors – we can expect both of these defenses to bring their ‘A’ game tonight. Perhaps just as importantly, this is not a game where we can or should expect much pace. Charlotte just got pushed to the limit in an uptempo affair against the Heat, but their 18-9 SU record after the All Star Break came about with the #29 pace out of 30 NBA teams, as slow as molasses and they have no intention of pushing pace tonight. Orlando’s offense still hasn’t found a rhythm and it’s mid-April, held to just 97 points on 41% shooting in their loss at Philly earlier in the week. Expect a relatively low scoring game, start to finish. Take the UNDER.

2% Take Phoenix (#576)
The Warriors beat the Nuggets after the All Star Break to improve their record to 30-27 at the time. Since that victory, the Warriors are 8-18 SU in their last 26 games. Six of those eight wins came against absolute bottom feeders: Memphis, Dallas, Washington (twice), Brooklyn and Sacramento. Against playoff teams (and ‘play-in’ teams), the Warriors are 2-14 SU, 7-9 ATS, consistently struggling to step up in class.
Yes, Steve Kerr’s squad got hot with a 43 point, ‘eight made three’s’ fourth quarter at home against the Clippers on Wednesday. They finished the game with a 57% shooting effort from the floor and 19 made three pointers. I’m not expecting a repeat performance from the single worst team in the NBA off a win full season, a woeful 12-25 ATS in this role.
In the history of the play-in games (they started in 2021), no #7 seed has lost twice at home and failed to make the postseason. The Suns defense ranks ‘head and shoulders’ ahead of the Clippers defense that got torched on Wednesday. Phoenix has an extra day’s rest and no travel; Golden State is the ‘public’ choice tonight. Take the Suns.

The Gold Sheet
NBA Basketball
View profile
In three head-to-head matchups against the Warriors this season Booker averaged 39.4 points + rebounds + assists per game with Golden State giving up the seventh most points to point guards per game this season. We’re well aware Booker had just 27 points + rebounds + assists in the team’s 114-110 loss to Portland on Tuesday, but Booker got in foul trouble early which messed up any rhythm Booker may have had during that game playing at least 36 minutes per game over his last five. We could see him notch 40 minutes tonight and on the season Booker has averaged 42.9 points + rebounds + assists per 40 minutes played. On the season Golden State ranked 22nd in rebounding rate and sat bottom half of the league in total assists allowed per game to the opposition. These two teams haven’t met since December 20 with Booker attempting 27 shots that game and attempting over 20 per game across his last five. With the winner of this game taking on the Thunder in the first round, let’s go with Booker to fill up the stat sheet going over 36.5 points + rebounds + assists on Friday night in front of the home crowd.

Minnesota arrives in Denver off back-to-back wins over the Rockets (136-132) and Pelicans (132-126), which is noteworthy, as NBA underdogs entering the playoffs off consecutive wins are 235-187-8 to the Under (55.7%), including 108-82-2 UNDER (56.8%) since 2018. The fact that both teams haven’t played since April 12 supports a low-scoring game, as NBA playoff games between well-rested teams are 94-60-2 to the Under (61%) since 2000, including 30-18 UNDER (62.5%) since 2022, going under by an average margin of 3.5 points per game. Since 2004, Game 1s of the opening round of the NBA playoffs are 94-71-3 to the Under (57%), including 25-15 UNDER (62.5%) since 2020, covering the total by an average of 7.3 points per game. Similarly, NBA home teams are 111-86-2 to the Under (56.3%) in Game 1 of a series since 2014. Finally, Denver is coming off five consecutive overs, which triggers a very good 51-29-2 (63.8%) NBA totals system of mine dating to 1998 that invests on the over in certain postseason games involving teams riding an over streak. Take the Under in the Minnesota/Denver game as Jeff Keim’s Free Pick Winner for Saturday, April 18.

Charlotte has outperformed all expectations, going from 12-games under .500 to winning 32 of its last 45 games to secure the #9 seed in the NBA Play-In Tournament. Charlotte finished the regular season ranked 11th in the league in Defensive Rating (113.5). More importantly, since the All-Star break, the Hornets rank 7th in Defensive Rating. Orlando also possesses a very good defense, ranking 13th in Defensive Rating (113.6). The Magic also boast one of the league’s best three-point defenses, allowing the fourth fewest number of attempts and the 12th worst percentage league-wide Since 2006, NBA road favorites are 198-153-11 to the Under (56.4%) in postseason play, while Game 1s of the opening round are 94-71-3 to the Under (57%), including 25-15 UNDER (62.5%) since 2020, covering the total by an average of 7.3 points per game. Similarly, NBA home teams are 111-86-2 to the Under (56.3%) in Game 1 of a series since 2014.

Free Pick | on Houston Rockets - ATS | Good until -7.0.
Los Angeles was a completely different team during the season than it is at this given moment. Without the likes of Luka Doncic & Austin Reaves, the Lakers are definitely not as strong. Will that hurt them? Of course. But, we all know what LeBron is capable of in an entire series. That being said, I think that it's going to hurt the Lakers a little bit too much on Saturday evening in Game One. Houston's one of the hottest teams in the NBA coming into this game having won nine of its L10 games. Even though this game is on the road, expect Houston to emerge as the winners.

Lots to like about New York. The Knicks are arguably stronger than the team which went to the Eastern Conference Finals last season. They're balanced and experienced. Their 53 regular season wins is the most since 2013. They have an excellent 30-10 home record. They've covered five straight. One might of thought trading Trae Young would hurt the Hawks. It didn't. They went 28-15 after getting rid of Young. However, if you look more closely, many of those 28 wins came against bad and/or short-handed teams. The Hawks still deserve credit for winning those games and getting here. However, I expect the Knicks to be too much for them on Saturday. *good at -6 or better

Free Against the Spread NBA Picks
ATS NBA bets are some of the most popular choices for NBA bettors. Â They're also among the most difficult. NBA bettors, however, and NBA experts, can sometimes find a nice edge in ATS NBA betting - maybe a line doesn't totally take into account some statistics or maybe bettors have shifted the line incorrectly.
Maybe two teams match up in such a way that the spread is moot. Only you can find out by getting your picks free for NBA bets from us

And makes your watching of the games pretty straightforward - you simply pick the NBA team that you think is going to win. A heavy favorite won't see a generous payout, but an underdog will.
Total Points, Over/Under Free NBA PredictionsÂ
Grab WagerTalk's free NBA over under picks daily. An over under pick simply refers to whether or a team or combined total of teams points will end up being more (over) or less (under) than the designated line for that game.
If an over/under line for an NBA game is 201.5, and you place a bet on the over, you need the teams to combine for 202+ points. It's that simple. Over/under betting can also comes in halves and sometimes even quarters - and you can get longer odds if you select a less likely over/under line offered by a sportsbook.
If two high-scoring NBA teams match up, you could very well see some pretty extravagantly high overs - but that doesn't mean it's not worth taking a look - but check with our NBA expert handicappers first for their suggested free NBA picks!
